Suggest Treatment For Muscle Pain And Numbness In Legs
Hi my husband has had quite a lot of muscle pain for several weeks now, mostly his legs, lower back and groin area. He also says he s experiencing numbness at times. He also has worse than usual flatulence and a sore tummy off and on through the day and especially at night. We moved house recently and he did a lot of heavy lifting and then worked hard insulating our new house etc so a lot more physical exercise than he would normally do so not sure if it s all related. Any ideas?

Hello !
Thank you for your question !
In my opinion the symptoms you describe may be probably related to the intervetebral discs in the lower part of the lumbar vertebral column of your husband. You say that he has been holding heavy lifting recently. This may have caused his intervertebral discs to displace and compress the spinal nerves that are responsible for his lower limbs.
The numbness and the pain in the groin area are not related to physical exercise. They must be related to a herniated disc.
So I would highly recommend you bring your husband to the doctor and have e good physical examination and further exams for the vertebral column like spinal CT scan or MRi .
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Abaz Quka
